IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. Fig. 13 32-pins connector for the Main Cable Depending on the system configuration, the function of the Positioning Unit is different:
For Hydra-U, the PTU is used to move the Laser in azimuth and elevation to perform surface reconstruction and the Radar Sensor in azimuth for the actual monitoring. During surface reconstruction the PTU moves performing a serpentine, alternating clockwise and counterclockwise scans in azimuth, increasing the elevation angle at each scan. During the actual scan, instead, the PTU moves in azimuth at a fixed elevation from -60 (the magnetic trigger angle, see Fig. 14) to +60 clockwise, and then returns to the magnetic trigger angle (counterclockwise). MNG/2017/009 Rev 1.1 20/ 54 SYSTEM BREAKDOWN For Hydra-G HP, the PTU is used to move the Radar Sensor in azimuth for the actual monitoring. During the scan the PTU moves in azimuth at a fixed elevation from -60 to +60 clockwise, and then returns to -60 (counterclockwise). For Hydra-G LP, the PTU is used to move the Radar Sensor in azimuth and elevation to perform the surface reconstruction. After the surface reconstruction the PTU is used to move the Radar Sensor in elevation, to match the Camera tilting angle, then in azimuth (from -60 to +60) to perform the actual scan. WARNING: Pinch point. Beware of the risk of finger pinch between the magnetic sensor and the magnetic trigger during rotation of the system (Fig. 14). 5.4 Tripod A tripod is provided for the installation of the PTU, with an interface that allows easy fastening (Fig. 15).

MNG/2017/009 Rev 1.1 32/ 54 HOW TO INSTALL AN HYDRA-U SYSTEM 6 HOW TO INSTALL AN HYDRA-U SYSTEM The installation of the HYDRA system requires about 15 minutes of work. The procedure can be broken down into following parts:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. preliminary operations;
installation of the tripod;
installation of the positioning unit on the tripod;
installation of the HYDRA Radar Sensor on the positioning unit;
installation of the Camera;
installation of the PSU;
The procedure from the measurement site is given in Par. 7.1, after the description of the 6 mentioned steps. for the dismantling of the equipment 6.1 Preliminary operations These are the preliminary operations suggested before the actual installation of an HYDRA system:
choose installation site;
verify in advance that the contents of the transport cases were properly loaded to avoid any damage during transportation. arrange a suitable means of transportation, capable of containing all the needed material.

6.1.1 Choose the Installation Site The first step in setting up an HYDRA is choosing an installation point. This is a very important process which will greatly affect the quality of data. For IDS GeoRadar S.r.l. this reason it is advised that you work with IDS GeoRadar personnel to choose the best installation point. Below some considerations when choosing an installation site:
Installation site should have a clear view of the area to be monitored. Shadowed areas or other areas that cannot be seen will not be present in the data;
Installation site should be a place with enough room to permit free movement of the PTU both in pan and tilt, avoiding collisions of the Arc-SAR metallic arm with other obstacles;
HYDRA should not be placed at a distance less than 2 m from the area of interest for the monitoring, since targets nearer than 2 m will not be visible;
HYDRA should be placed far enough away from the wall so that it can monitor the desired scenario. The system will monitor a cone shaped area extending from the installation point. Refer to Par.4.1 and 5.2 for the maximum distance and beam width of the various configurations;
HYDRA measures the line of sight displacement. This means that it measures the displacement that occurs along a line that extends from the radar to the monitored surface. Movements which are perpendicular to the radars line of sight cant be seen. For this reason avoid monitoring walls which are parallel to the radars line of sight;
Avoid area with vegetation (for slope monitoring) and glass surfaces
(for building monitoring);
We can imagine two typical monitoring scenarios for HYDRA scanning: side wall monitoring (Fig. 37) and roof monitoring (Fig. 38). MNG/2017/009 Rev 1.1 33/ 54 HOW TO INSTALL AN HYDRA-U SYSTEM For side wall monitoring, is suggested an oblique orientation of the PTU with respect to the monitored surface, in order to maximize the enlightened area, as shown in Fig. 39.
